Step into history with this beautifully unique four bedroom home, a solid build with timeless architecture that has been lovingly embraced by its current owners. More than just a house, it’s a historical little capsule filled with charm and character at every turn.
Inside, you’ll discover quirky features and light-filled spaces. The original floors, sourced from a church in England, set the tone for this home’s rich story. A striking wooden staircase creates a beautiful centerpiece, while the living areas and bedrooms are framed with expansive glass panes that invite sunlight and garden views indoors.
This thoughtfully designed kitchen is practical, offering an abundance of cupboard space and generous work surfaces for easy meal preparation. A quality gas stove adds a touch of gourmet appeal, while a side window frames views of the flourishing vegetable garden and swimming pool, and fills the space with natural light. Open to the lounge and dining areas, this kitchen is the heart of the home, perfect for everyday family living.
From the upstairs living area, enjoy the sea view that makes mornings and evenings truly special. This level of the home offers a quiet study, a private lounge, and the main bedroom with its own ensuite bathroom. A spacious balcony invites you to relax with a coffee or evening sundowner while taking in the fresh coastal air.
There is a seamless flow from indoors to the outdoor entertainment area, which is perfect for gatherings, complete with a built-in Jetmaster braai. The swimming pool is the perfect size for cooling off on warm days, surrounded by a landscaped, manicured garden with an abundance of fruit trees including bananas, a lemon tree, avocado, litchi, mulberry, orange, naartjie, and blueberry trees. The wireless irrigation system takes care of the lush garden.
This home is completely off the grid, with 12 large solar panels, powerful inverters, one 5 000 litre water tank, and a borehole with certified drinkable water. There is also a water purification system that filters the water before it reaches the house. The owners only pay minimal service fees for electricity and water.
Practical features include a double garage, storeroom, and staff quarters. The automatic garage door is made out of meranti and has been specially crafted to simulate the effect of barn doors.
The special crystal chandelier, Moroccan and Turkish light fittings will remain in the home. In addition, the owners are leaving unique selected furniture and garden pieces that compliment the property. These will be included in the sale.
